I heard a freight train out across the way
I heard a woman sing Amazing Grace
I heard a night bird call to it's mate
When I heard you whisper my name
I heard freedom break it's chain
I heard a heart beat where once on sound remained
I heard angels rise and praise
When I heard you whisper my name
I heard music bring a heart of stone to tears
I heard peace ring like an anthem through the years
And I heard hatred fall from grace
When I heard you whisper my name
Beating softly against the waves
Fell a sound of an early morning rain
And though the lighting and thunder came
I still heard you whisper my name
I heard music bring a heart of stone to tears
I heard peace ring like an anthem through the years
And I heard hatred fall from grace
When I heard you whisper my name
And I heard angels rise and praise
When I heard you whisper my name
The first time I heard my boyfriend sing this song, I thought he was singing about his relationship with God. The second time I heard it, I thought he was singing about his relationship with me. I still don't know which it is, or if it's both and I don't think I'm going to ask him. Either way it's a beautiful song with a powerful message for both the singer and the listener.
